Early Years

My father ran the Royal Mail Hotel in Avenel.

I very nearly drowned in 1865 while on my way to school. Ned Kelly saved me. He was 10 and I was 5.

As a thankyou my parents gave Ned Kelly a silk sash. It had a gold tassell and he wore it at the siege at Glenrowan. It is now on display in the museum in Benalla.

Please enjoy the story of the KellyGang, but also remember that at least 10 people died and many more had their lives changed in ways that may still be painful to some people.
